Abstract: A film scanner 10 illuminant system 20 with a light integrator
module 50 for creating an homogenous light illuminant from a light source 25.
Temporal variations in light beam profiles from the light source 25 which
introduce low level temporal variations in the spatial homogeneity of light from
the integrator are reduced below level of perceptibility by use of a light shaping
diffuser 43 to diffuse the beam of input light at the light input port 52 of the light
integrator. Preferably asymmetric light diffusers 43 are used although some
additional advantage is obtainable by use of spherical diffusers. The diffuser may
be used with a variety of known light integrator configurations.

Abstract: A plasma display
panel may have a plurality of first electrodes and second
electrodes are arranged parallel to each other, a
plurality of third electrodes are arranged to cross the
first and second electrodes, and discharge cells defined
with areas in which the electrodes cross mutually are
arranged in the form of a matrix. According to a driving method
for such a plasma display panel, a reset period is a period during which
the distribution of wall charges in the plurality of
discharge cells is uniformed. An addressing period is a
period during which wall charges are produced in the
discharge cells according to display data. A sustain
discharge period is a period during which sustain
discharge is induced in the discharge cells in which wall
charges are produced during the addressing period. The
driving method
comprises a step of applying a first pulse (-V wx , V wy ) in which an
applied voltage varies with time so as to induce first
discharge in the lines defined by the first and second
electrodes, and a step of applying a second pulse (Vex, - Vey) in
which an applied voltage varies with time so as to induce
second discharge as erase discharge in the lines defined
by the first and second electrodes. These steps are
carried out during the reset period.

treatment, addition of chosen light permeating materials
additives to differing proportions painting,
application of paper sticker of chosen light transmittances,
steam-plating the surface to form a metal film which is partially

remain opaque while the light source remains unlit, but both
the lamp casing and lamp shade will transmit light when the light
source is turned on, producing a main illumination zone and a
complementary illumination zone with little
shadow compared to a conventional lamp.

Abstract: Realtime data is recorded on a disc at a unit of
cluster including successive sectors. When an error occurs
in recording, the realtime data to be recorded in one
cluster is relocated at another cluster, wherein successive
sectors in each cluster are physically nearly arranged, so
that movement of head is reduced when an error occurs and
realtime data is recorded without losing the realtime data
and without waiting. The area recording medium may be
scanned to detect an error in recording during an idle
interval. The idle interval is detected in accordance with
the request interval of storing or reproducing and writing
and reading execution time. A bit map table for storing
used status and defect status may be recorded on the area
recording medium. Logical sector address in a sector may
be converted into a physical sector address such that
sectors indicated by the physical sector address converted
from the logical sector address in a cluster are physically
nearly located on the area recording medium.

Title: Particle mediated transformation of soybean with glyphosate selection
Inventor: MARTINELL BRIAN J
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: A transformation protocol is described for the particle mediated transformation of soybean. This protocol is based on gene delivery into the growing meristem of a soybean embryo. Prior transformation protocols based on meristematic gene delivery in soybean did not depend on selection due to difficulties in using selection agents in differentiated tissue in soybean. It has been found that a post bombardment culture with glyphosate selection can dramatically increase the efficiency of such a transformation protocol.
